May
come as some surprise, but in the AgeTrack Progression of players who
played in 2008, a few trends have started to emerge.

PEVA Player Ratings averages increase every year from Age 19 to 29,
then remain steady through age 32.

After that, there is a trend
downwards through age 37, when the average begins to rise again.
What this
likely says is not that aging does not occur and affect performance, it
affects it into retirement. But those players good enough to
remain playing, still perform at a very high level, even through their
mid-40s.

All
batters with over 25 AB in 2008. PEVA reflects Total PEVA,
